Dominance and Terror: A Discussion with Noam Chomsky PT 1

[heal2012]

The cause of human suffering is greed, anger and stupidity.. US constitution is meaningless

[bootleg42]

The message this person brings to us all is valuable. Good video!!!

[AgTip]

I would like to see this with minimal background distraction. It would require some editing, OK, but all that 'event' and sound is just trash. If I'm attending, I'm attending; I don't need the flash and fancy.

A decent picture and good sound. That's enough.

[oliver556]

Great video. Chomsky is amazing.

[palomoalbeiro]

State terrorism:

the School of the Americas and Guantanamo are just examples, flagrantry contradictive to anyone's definition of freedom. One was a project for training military dictators and their armies from South and Middle America during the sixties and seventies-directed by the US marines, created by the CIA and sponsored by the US government

The other i assume we all know. kidnapping and torture from behalf of the US state.

do i really need say any more?

[MedicineWarrior]

Be careful about just lumping everybody living in the U.S. as "you Americans" there are plenty of us, like Chomsky and myself that are outraged by all this.

[palomoalbeiro]

Just great! He explains it so simply and accuratly.

You fools in the US, try to understand it...You're the worlds leading TERRORIST state. You're army kills thousands of inocent people for oil.

Where are the weapons of mass destruction that Saddam was suposed to have, and that were suposed to be a threat to you're country??!!

[sonata1992]

Bullshit. Just because I happened to be born in the US, doesn't mean I support a bloody damned thing the government or any other US citizen or organization does.

I'd go to jail before I'd be drafted into that fucking army.

So, does Chomsky (a US citizen) need to "try to understand?"

[Tesselator]

Yep! Noam C. - Right on!

[tsuumo]

Define fool!!

[paulwebb1]

so it is great that he is a linguistics genius, but he goes on and on about violence and problems in the world, but what is he really doing. I know he travels around and speaks to groups of dissaffected people sells books, and makes some money. So what is he really doing to change the world not a whole lot.

[plemyk]

I don,t think he,s trying to change the world...just peoples perception of it!!!

[sonata1992]

No one really "changes the world." Chomsky certainly does a better job than almost anyone else of informing people of the world, in any case.

[paulwebb1]

all chomsky does is make everyone look good and try to make everybody who does right and stands for something look horrible whatever.

[DanLackey]

paulwebb1: I don't think you wrote what you meant to write, unless you meant to be illogical. Check your work and resubmit. D-

[paulwebb1]

all chomsky does it ramble on about nothing and then makes all who stand for something or Israel who stands up for themselves look bad. Ever wonder why he isn't on any news stations.

[DanLackey]

No. Nor have I wondered why he does not appear on the Op-Ed pages of the NY Times, although he his columns are now distributed by the Times Syndicate. While typing this, I have been listening to what you call "ramblings." How to diminish terror? Quit participating in it. That's good food for thought. Are you up for it, paulwebb1?

[paulwebb1]

it is great to think about danlackey, but the situation is that their never will be peace in the world. their are people who just don't like others and then you have countries like Israel "God bless them" who do not negociate with terrorist. they just take an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. talking with terrorist will get you no where. sometimes you have to pick up a weapon and start shooting

[Pilot1Engineer]

What an ignorant you are. Go hide. Chomsky's liks are too valuable for CIA agents to infiltrate and undermine them.

[amitcha1]

Do you ever think about why they become terrorists??? do you ever think about who are called terrorists?? He is just saying that you have to get to the cause... ask WHY?? For a majority of the world, US government is a terrorist state.

[Pilot1Engineer]

Simply, because

1.he is honest

2. US media is subordinated by the US government

[HCLivess]

yes, let Hitler stand for himself, hypocrite

[dassieland]

Who do you think you are?? A Socialist, communist trying to brainwash us with your ideas. Some of us dont fall for that, we are strong in our believes and morals. We care about peoples freedoms. I dont need a Socialist idiot to esplain what terrorism means. Would you rather have the terrorist destroy us? You moron.

[brent3234]

You are using fear and ignorance to discredit an intelligent person, whether you agree with him or not is moot,you make yourself look stupid when you attack somebody's opinion by dismissing them as a 'socialist idiot' instead of analysing and criticising their argument. That kind of banter only makes you look wrong.

[khayyam847]

Try discussing facts with facts. Only threats just show that you are:

1 - a moron. (And it really doens't help in your countries image... most of the people over here and everywhere REALLY don't like you guys already)

2 - A provocateur (cop/nazy/again... moron)

Try to discuss things, and not only say idiotic things plz

thanx

[picarddelta]

The point is that WE'RE the terrorist you idiot. Why don't you listen for a second? You keep using labels like "socialist" and "communist" in the place of rational argument. Why dont' you just go ahead and prove that the CIA didn't stage a coup in Iran in 1953, why don't you prove that it didn't try to overthrow the elected government of Venezeula in 2003? These are your precious contributions to democracy.

[SmokescreenNinjaz]

haha, rhetoric is a great thing, eh dassieland?

[amitcha1]

Look at who is brainwashing you. Chomsky is not the enemy...

[mikeisnotcreative]

viva noam!
